Since you are only looking to lose 15 lbs yes, you should probably eat your exercise calories. There are people that don't and people that do... you need to figure out what works for you. I eat back my exercise calories and lose between 0.5 and 1lb per week. When you don't have alot to lose you need to eat more.... not…

That's awesome! Thanks for posting. I always think it's strange when people complain that they've lost inches.... isn't that the whole point... nobody knows what the number on the scale is but they can see the inches!

You look great! Congratulations!!

Well you went 3 miles in an hour, so enter it under "walking 3.0" for 60 minutes - even though you were running for part of it, there isn't an option for running 3.0. A HRM would give you more accurate calorie burn but if you don't have one then just do this. Good job running!

That's great that you found a tool that works for you!! And fantastic losing 65lbs... but don't stop there!

Are you getting enough protein? I don't usually so I've made a huge effort to choose items high in protein -- tuna, chicken, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, chickpeas. I find I have more energy than I used to. As for motivation to workout... you kinda have to find that yourself. Just think of what you want your body to look…

Great job... you look fantastic... and much younger!

Congratulations! You look great!

Yes sugar matters... even sugar from fruit. I'm not suggesting that you don't eat fruit but you should stay to 2-3 servings a day. And try and stay away from refined sugar altogether!!

That's fantastic!! Congratulations!! I can't wait to get to my goal (or even 3 lbs from it)!

Just pick one scale and always use that one. Weight fluctuates daily - hourly, and no two scales are exactly the same. In fact you could move your scale into a different spot and it will give you a different number!! So, same scale, same time of day and this will give you some consistency. Otherwise you will go crazy!!

It takes 3,500 calories beyond your regular burn to gain/lose 1 pound of fat, so at most you gained 1 lb of fat... HOWEVER all of the sodium in that food may cause you to retain water, so the scale may go up. Get back to your regular eating and drink lots of water... I find that cardio helps too.

Yep, only use the scale on hard surfaces. I put my scale in the same spot every time to be consistent.

I'm not an expert... but I think by doing this you get your body is thinking that it has alot of calories of burn so increases your metabolism and when you get back to normal it's burning more than normal. It's kinda like the reverse effect of starvation mode when your body holds onto calories because it's not getting very…

That's awesome!!

Forget the scale... that's the best measurement tool! Great feeling... congrats!

Yes, please try to start eating more. You may be losing weight but it is not healthy. I understand it is difficult if you're not hungry but like others mentioned try and add some more food to your meal (slowly) and also adding snacks. Nuts, seeds, peanut butter, dried fruit, cheese. All can add alot of calories but not…

I've been here for 4 months and most days I'm ok but once in awhile when I'm out I just wish I could order without trying to figure out calories! You are doing SO well, don't give up. I just keep thinking about what I want my body to look like and that's why I'm doing this. Good Luck!!

A can of tuna!! Only 160 calories + 15g of protein! Yummy!!

You look fantastic!! Don't worry so much about the scale... you look awesome now!

You have to want to change. It's not about dieting (as others have mentioned). It's about making smarter decisions. Make a plan at the beginning of the week and decide what you are going to eat for the whole week. Grocery shop, do prep and it's a no-brainer you eat what you planned to eat. Of course there are temptations…

Does the 1,600 calories include your exercise calories? If it does then you're not eating enough training for a tri 1 - 2 hours / day. Your net calories would be close to zero!

Believe it and your dream WILL come true! You are doing awesome!!

This is not a healthy way of thinking. You NEED to eat, so you're not doing anything wrong. Think of food as fuel for your body. If you want your body to function for you, you need to give it fuel.

Everybody gets upset when they lose inches but not lbs... this doesn't make sense. Everybody sees the inches, only you see the lbs! Obviously your clothing size is important to you, since you mentioned it, this is only going to change if you lose inches. If you lose inches it's only a matter of time until you lose the…

Good that you're getting it checked but I am always thirsty and I drink lots of water. I think your body becomes used to it and expects it.

Taking measurements helps - waist, chest, hips, thighs, arms. It's difficult to notice on your body but when you measure yourself you will see the difference. And yes, taking pictures helps too. Sometimes we forget what we looked like when we started since we see ourself everyday. Just keep going, pretty soon you won't…

I measure at my belly button. It doesn't really matter as long as you always measure the same place.

Your face looks so much different. Great job!!
